This is what the Delhi Premier League for women has sparked — a ripple effect across the entire ecosystem of women’s cricket in the capital. For the first time in the history of Delhi cricket, the DDCA Women’s T20 League will feature 41 clubs, each fielding a squad of at least 15 players. That’s over 600 women cricketers above 14 years of age getting competitive exposure in one of the largest local T20 leagues for women anywhere in India.
Spearheaded by DDCA president Rohan Jaitley, this initiative isn’t just symbolic — it’s structural. It’s about creating volume, opportunity, and visibility. While Indian women’s cricket continues to make waves internationally, it’s local leagues like these that form the bedrock of sustainable talent development.
This isn’t just a tournament. It’s a statement — that Delhi is ready to invest in women’s cricket not just with words, but with action, structure, and opportunity.
With Delhi often being at the heart of policy and perception in Indian cricket, what starts at Modern School this Monday might just shape the future of women’s cricket across India.
Who know? What begins as a local league may well evolve into a feeder system for state and franchise-level cricket — and eventually, for the national setup too.
